Livin' a Life with You

Songtext

[Verse 1] I saw you by the payphone outside the corner store You dropped your silver change, I picked it up from the floor You laughed and said, "Keep walking, unless you know my name" I said, "I’m still learning it," and nothing stayed the same We shared a paper cup beneath the closing sign Your hand found mine on the bus ride home that night A little brave, a little scared, two hearts out of tune But every road I’d ever take was turning toward you [Pre-Chorus] Now I still remember how your fingers fit in mine Like some small piece of heaven we discovered in real time [Chorus] I’m livin' a life with you, a life I never knew From a borrowed kiss at midnight to a house full of shoes If I ever lose my way, you’re the road that pulls me through I’d be a mess without you, I’d be a mess without you I’m livin' a life with you, and every dream comes true [Verse 2] We kissed beside the kitchen when the whole town went to sleep Your old blue sweater wrapped around me, yours for me to keep We counted out our rent money, laughing at the math Then bought a little table for the apartment we had There were mornings with a baby crying before the sun Cold coffee on the counter, somehow still we’d won You’d tie a tiny shoelace, I’d pack a lunch at dawn And tired as we were, we kept choosing to go on [Pre-Chorus] Every photograph is proof of what we made somehow Two young hearts with busy hands, still choosing each other now [Chorus] I’m livin' a life with you, a life I never knew From a borrowed kiss at midnight to a house full of shoes If I ever lose my way, you’re the road that pulls me through I’d be a mess without you, I’d be a mess without you I’m livin' a life with you, and every dream comes true [Bridge] When the children leave their pictures in the hallway frames And the years turn silver softly at the corners of our names I’ll meet you on the front porch when the evening birds are through Still reaching for your hand like the first time I met you [Instrumental Bridge] [Breakdown] Let the world keep changing, let the seasons run I’ll be right beside you when the long day’s done No grand promise needed, no perfect point of view Just one more night, one more morning, one more me and you [Final Chorus] I’m livin' a life with you, the only life I choose With our children grown and laughing in somebody else’s room When my hands are old and shaking, I’ll still reach for you I’d be a mess without you, I’d be a mess without you I’m livin' a life with you, and I’m still falling too [Outro] Still falling too Still holding on to you Livin' a life with you
